Custom Exhaust
How much should I expect to pay for a custom exhaust for my S2000 build?
Are there cheaper ways of going about it or is it always an expensive task?
The first quote I got was £1200.

if you go to a company that knows about engines and manufacturing of performance exhausts then that figure is not far off,
I had a quote from Simpsons and they wanted nearly £1500!!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Must be very very special for that amount, I purchased some stainless bends from Ebay and made mine for £125 !
That aside I would be looking for a pinto or zetec exhaust and modify that to fit depending on what side the car it exists on, should be around 1/4 of
that price.

where are you? I can't see from your profile.
I got a manifold for £400 around here.
Silencer and such is off the shelf item from MK, but you are looking at around £200 for that.
Can you recycle some of the s2000 manifold?

i would keep the original headers and fit a custom exhaust from that point onwards.
Some engines are better off without fiddling with them if you don't know how to do it properly.

the s2000 in original form had a very specifically designed exhaust iirc, they are probably intending on recreating the original item as closely as
possible within the confines of your car hence the expense.

I do have the manifold which is attached to the downpipe. It weighs a hell of a lot though

Try contacting Martin Keenan
http://www.mkengineering.co.uk/
I was down there today and have seen some really nice 4-2-1 and 4-1 collectors that he has made, I know he can make a custom manifold for £650 and I
think his 5" diameter silencers are £200 or £250. Check out my photo archive i've put some pics of Martins work in there.
